The Open

Over the pond...ha ha...there is this guy going crazy, no, not Tiger...but Brandt Snedeker...just a rolling through the pasture, that them foreign people call a golf course...it's early, but he is posting a good one...I thought long and hard about who to put my quid on, and just couldn't pull the trigger...

Speaking of that, we are heading out to Del Mar this afternoon...4 o'clock first post...so we are going to take the train...it's a crap shoot this early in the season...the hosses are unsure of the artificial ground they run on...they call it synthetic...and it is just a grand experience here...warm and well attended...

The Padres won 3 of 4 against the Astros...of course, the one game I bet on, they lost....and they were favored in all games...what?...the first series in 2 months...the real topic was the pitching of Edison Volquez last night...he gave up but one hit...and it was a chopper to his right that he couldn't come up with...and he blames himself...shoot, it was 3B Headley's all the way...that Chase didn't call off the pitcher...very below average fielder in my book...anyway, a great performance...and a win!...

NBA garbage...the league is actually looking at allowing advertisements on their uniforms...patches they are calling them...a $100 million dollar investment...hey, the PGA does it...now, if they were to wear numbers, that would be way cool....introducing from San Diego, sponsored by Callaway, number 3, Phil Mickleson!...so then, it would be, introducing from Chicago, sponsored by Nike, number 23, Michael Jordan!...I'm just saying...

I know this is slanted...but I watched a piece on the 5 sons of Mitt...and I was uncomfortable about it all...the video of them trying to catch a baseball was hilarious...and they wouldn't talk issues or their faith...so why were we listening?...a bit contrived, huh...

Have a good one...
